Winterbottom Stakes Betting Tips

Overpass is favourite to win the 2024 Winterbottom Stakes in the latest betting odds.

Western Empire ($5) is an interesting runner, with the seven-year-old focusing on shorter distances this campaign and he'll likely go up to 1400m for the Gold Rush on December 14.

The 2021 Railway Stakes winner was a stylish second-up winner last campaign and the Williams stable have focused on the Winterbottom Stakes and the Gold Rush as the target races this prep.

Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald prepared the first Group 1 winner of the 2024 Perth Summer Carnival and they're well placed for a second feature victory with Lady Laguna ($6), who was a Group 1 WFA winner in March.

Her Canterbury Stakes triumph and George Ryder Stakes runner-up finish were both recorded deep into that campaign, so there's room for progression off three spring runs following a August 24 return effort.
